Summary: Night action for specks this past week was good for specks to 26 inches. Best hours were between 11pm and 3am. Daytime activity centered mainly on flounder with many 20 inch plus flatfish hitting the boxes. Redfish showed up in good numbers with many Bulls and slots keeping anglers busy. December 1st marks the end of the 2 a day for flounder returning to the 5 flounder per day. AGAIN, Wardens kept busy writing up greedy anglers for undersized, over limits and no fishing license! WAKE-UP!
